Noting Florida State: After a 10-3 season in 2022 and a 13-1 season last year, the Seminoles have regressed to being even worse than they were in Norvell’s first go-around — a 5-7 showing in 2021 … Florida State lost to Duke in Week 8 despite allowing just 180 total yards; the Seminoles turned the ball over 4 times, while the Blue Devils did not turn it over once … Through Week 10, only one teams in college football — Air Force (13.8) — was scoring fewer points per game than FSU’s 14.4 … Florida State’s scoring defense is bad but not as atrocious as the scoring offense; the Seminoles’ 27.3 points allowed per game through Week 10 ranked 86th nationally.
